A relay is a switch isnt it? Is it switching circuits (switched ones) when it gets a signal off a live? Eg. Id probably use a sidelight wire? I ride with my lights on all the time anyway.
I'm using the Eastern Beaver three circuit solution (3CS) and it's great. Easy to tuck into tight spaces. The relay ties into a circuit that gets hot when the key is switched on, such as the tail light circuit. That signals the 3CS fuse box to get power only when the key is on for switched circuits. If you order the kit with an unswitched circuit, it is hot all the time. You don't want high draw items such as heated grips on an unswitched circuit in case you forget to turn it off. However, you might want a usb connected to an unswitched circuit that will allow you to charge low power items like a cell phone with the key off. I personally selected all switched circuits.

30A realy would be fine . And remember you fuse each devise to what the manufactures recommends .

Where did you tuck it away mate? Under the seat?
Im currently wondering if the pc8 will fit under there haha Urgh. Too many options.
No idea what length i want, cos im not sure where i could mount it atm.
Also not sure whether i want 30a or 50a. I think 30 would be enough?
Yep, under the seat. It's easy to tuck away. I can't imagine needing more than 30A unless you're running auxiliary lights, heated gear and more simultaneously.
How much dya reckon you could run off the vfr before its discharging faster than its charging? Is the charging system good on it?
Don't know the answer, but I run heated grips and a heated jacket liner. Together they run about 9-10 amps on high. My bike handles this fine at speed, but the grips auto shut down at idle and come back on when the revs build. (Feature built in to the grip controller.)
